Question

ok this is what happened,

my dad took all my moms credit cards and charged them all at a store he knew and sent it all away to his country, and we are broke, my dad is ruining our lives. All the bills are coming in and it is clear that my dad will pack up and just disappear one day. My dad did this before about 9 years ago, and if he does leave, we dont want this bills coming down on us, can we end it?

Answer 1

Since you can only file for bankruptcy,

once every "nine years."

He just may try it again, for sure. Get legal advice. <}:-})

Answer 2

if they got the cards together (both names on the credit bill) you are stuck with the bills however when they get a divorce she can attempt to prove the charges are strictly his and benefit no one but him and try and get the charges assigned to him and i think once you file bankruptcy after its over you have to wait 10 years before you can do it again but i'm not 100% on that.

Answer 3

cancel the cards  

Answer 4

file a fraud charge with the police against him, that should hopefully quash your liability to the debt.

any other debts he has amassed... if your parents are married then your mother will be legally liable for then, otherwise, if not, anything that is in his name is no responsibility of your mother's whatsoever and should be ignored no matter who tries to chase you up for it.
